The actor shares a bit about the episode, and thanks the fans for tuning in over the past nine years. <i>New York&#8217;<\/i>s future remains uncertain right now, but there can be no doubt that Sinise is grateful for his time on the crime drama:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>When I first signed on for the series in 2004, I had no idea how I&#8217;d feel if I ended up being fortunate enough to be a part of it for many years. Now, I can truly say that it&#8217;s been a gratifying experience, and that I&#8217;ve really enjoyed playing the character of Mac Taylor. He&#8217;s a man of integrity and strength and I&#8217;m proud to say that he&#8217;s based on many members of our police, fire and military communities. And working with our cast \u2014 <b>Sela Ward<\/b> (Jo Danville), <b>Eddie Cahill<\/b> (Don Flack), <b>Anna Belknap<\/b> (Lindsay Messer), <b>Carmine Giovinazzo<\/b> (Danny Messer), <b>Hill Harper<\/b> (Dr Sheldon Hawkes), <b>AJ Buckley<\/b> (Adam Ross), <b>Robert Joy<\/b> (Dr Sid Hammerback) and most recently, <b>Natalie Martinez<\/b> (Jamie Lovato) and <b>Megan Dodds<\/b> (Christine Whitney) \u2014 has been just wonderful. We have an amazing team of writers who continue to impress and I thank them all, as well as our fantastic crew, for another great season.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\nBe sure to check out the full piece on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.suntimes.com\/lifestyles\/18381158-418\/closing-the-case-gary-sinise-on-the-ninth-season-finale-of-his-hit-show-csi.html\">Chicago Sun-Times<\/a> website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CSI: New York&#8217;s leading man Gary Sinise (Mac Taylor) wrote a column for the Chicago&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2908],"tags":[2925],"class_list":["post-42275","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-csi-ny","tag-sinise"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","newsphere-slider-full":"","newsphere-featured":"","newsphere-medium":""},"author_info":{"display_name":"Rachel","author_link":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/author\/rachel\/"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/categories\/csi-ny\/\" rel=\"category tag\">CSI: New York<\/a>","tag_info":"CSI: New York","comment_count":"8","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42275","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=42275"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42275\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":42293,"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42275\/revisions\/42293"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42275"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=42275"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=42275"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
